You don't have a Feedback link on your site, but it seems that Amazon keeps close tabs on the Blogosphere, so hopefully this reaches you.
I don't know whether you're an actual sub-division of Amazon, but the website URL https://www.aws.training certainly didn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling when it came up in Google. In fact, my first thought was that it was some unaffiliated company that had better SEO.
So, since it was asking me for login credentials, I did what any reasonably cautious technologist would do, and ran whois. And this is what I got back:
Domain Name: aws.training Registry Domain ID: 8d519b3def254d2f980a08f62416a5b9-DONUTS Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.comlaude.com Registrar URL: http://www.comlaude.com Updated Date: 2019-05-19T19:54:24Z Creation Date: 2014-03-19T00:32:11Z Registry Expiry Date: 2024-03-19T00:32:11Z Registrar: Nom-iq Ltd. dba COM LAUDE Registrar IANA ID: 470 Registrar Abuse Contact Email: abuse@comlaude.com Registrar Abuse Contact Phone: +44.2074218250 Registrant Name: REDACTED FOR PRIVACY Registrant Organization: Amazon Technologies, Inc.

That's the sort of whois entry that you get for an individual using a shared hosting service. In fact, it provides less information than you'll see with my domain, which runs on a shared hosting service, and I pay extra for privacy.
By comparison, the whois entry for Amazon itself looks like this (and note that it's a different registrar, another red flag):
Domain Name: amazon.com Registry Domain ID: 281209_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.markmonitor.com Registrar URL: http://www.markmonitor.com Updated Date: 2019-08-26T12:19:56-0700 Creation Date: 1994-10-31T21:00:00-0800 Registrar Registration Expiration Date: 2024-10-30T00:00:00-0700 Registrar: MarkMonitor, Inc. Registrar IANA ID: 292 Registrar Abuse Contact Email: abusecomplaints@markmonitor.com Registrar Abuse Contact Phone: +1.2083895770 Registrant Name: Hostmaster, Amazon Legal Dept. Registrant Organization: Amazon Technologies, Inc. Registrant Street: P.O. Box 8102 Registrant City: Reno Registrant State/Province: NV Registrant Postal Code: 89507 Registrant Country: US Registrant Phone: +1.2062664064 Registrant Phone Ext: Registrant Fax: +1.2062667010 Registrant Fax Ext: Registrant Email: hostmaster@amazon.com
While I'm a little surprised by the Reno address, rather than Seattle, this at least looks like the sort of registration information used by a business rather than somebody who pays $10/month for hosting.
I ended up getting to the training site via a link on the AWS Console, so was able to achieve my goal.
But I think there's a general lesson: don't forsake your brand without good reason.
And at the very least, ask your network administrators to update your whois data.
